Non-Surgical Nose Enhancements Decoded

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

In the past, if you wanted to change how your nose looked like, you had only the surgical nose job to look forward to. Now, injectable dermal fillers are actually a thing, and these miraculous things can actually transform your nose in less than 30 minutes. But wait, even more recently, nose threadlifts have gained their own foothold in the market. Just what exactly are all the options for someone who wants a new nose, and which ones are suitable for you? How can inserting a gel or thin suture threads into the nose make it look smaller?   1. Nose Fillers Also known as the “Liquid nose job”, this lunchtime procedure is magically transformative. Dermal nose fillers in a gel form are injected into the nose and last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. These fillers are commonly made of a biodissolvable substance such as hyaluronic acid, and your body dissolves the filler over time. These are great for augmenting the nose bridge, correcting curves, bumps and lumps. Continue Reading

The New Forehead Beautification Uncovered

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

High foreheads were once considered a sign of beauty, and ladies back in the Renaissance were rumoured to have plucked their hairlines to achieve the effect. The forehead is probably one of the most understated features of beauty and it was only after a little “education” that I understood why this feature was important in determining one’s attractiveness. Has anyone wondered why we find babies exceedingly cute? According to research, our brains are hardwired for identifying cuteness – and we have a natural, disarmed attraction for people we find attractive or cute.   In women, a curved, smooth and round forehead which reflects light is feminine and attractive. On the contrary, a woman with a flat forehead, or have bony protrusions on the brows or areas of concavity on the forehead will look more masculine.     ACHIEVING A FEMININE FOREHEAD The invention of hyaluronic acid fillers of varying firmness and longevities has basically revolutionized the beauty industry. Beautiphication of the forehead was no longer limited to the more traditional Continue Reading

The neck is often neglected because we pay so much attention to our faces. But did you know that telltale signs of age also reside in the neck? We teach you how you can look a couple of decades younger by paying some attention to your neck. Fend off wrinkles and fine lines on the neck with these treatments.   NECK LIFTING There is nothing worse than a line-free face juxtaposed with an obviously neglected neck. With age, the skin sags and the jawline slowly disappears into the neck. Poorly defined jawlines are hallmarks of aging so it is no wonder that there are many treatment options today to help restore the sharp V-shaped jawline. Non-invasive lifting neck lifts are actually a thing today, not surprisingly, because they DO work! Fractionated high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments such as the 24K Chin Up target the infamous double chin without pain nor downtime. This “cold laser” (Sygmalift) treatment reaches 4.5mm beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in a skin Continue Reading

Best Skin Smoothers That Will Give You Baby Soft Skin

Looking for a treatment that will give you instagram-ready skin? But there are tonnes of possibilities out there, what should you focus on? If the constant emergence of skincare cult brands are any indication, it is the quest for baby soft, smooth and luminous skin that wins the most hearts.   WHAT CAUSES ROUGH AND DULL SKIN? Environmental pollution and sun damage. These sink deep into skin and cause acne, sun spots and premature skin aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Older women undergo hormonal changes to do with menopause, which contributes to a sharp decline in collagen production and overall loss of skin radiance. Cellular renewal also declines and the buildup of dead skin cells changes the skin’s texture and tone, and an overall lack of moisture results in a rough and dull appearance. Some clever changes to your skincare range will help but at a slower and smaller scale compared to skin treatments. Here are some of the best skin smoothening treatments to check out.   BB Continue Reading

Why Facial Hair Removal Can Improve Your Skin

We may not like to hear it, but let’s face it. Like men, females also have facial hair. Thankfully, women tend to have facial hair that’s less noticeable. Even then, a good proportion of us could do better with a lot less facial fuzz. Men tend to shave in order to not grow a beard, but why should women with short, fine, baby hair have facial hair removal done?   1. IT HELPS REDUCE ACNE Not a cure for acne but you will be surprised at how it can improve acne, especially the comedonal ones. Acne is caused by clogged pores due to excessive oil production. Since hair grows out of pores which are also natural “discharging channels” for oil and sweat, it makes a lot of sense to have facial hair removed to reduce the likelihood of clogged pores.   2. IT HELPS GET RID OF BUMPS Laser hair removal means no more shaving, and no more razor bumps. So the skin surface appears more even without further risks Continue Reading
